PORTLAND URBAN LIFE REVERSE HISTORY: FROM 2-17-19 TO 2-13-17

February 18, 2019 by

The ultimate joy of aging gracefully is the grace part. I don’t feel a need to lash out at every wrong I’ve ever felt. At the same time I can’t listen very well to others working their own lash. I mean, who really knows what brings people to act the way they do? Well, I’ve […]

TONY ROMO WRITNG COACH

January 22, 2019 by

    Tony Romo is getting great press as an NFL color commentator. His MVP showing in the AFC title game earned him the sort of career extension anyone would hope for. And he’s a second year guy in the booth. What if Tony Romo was a writing coach, as good a writing coach as […]

TONY ROMO WINS NFL BROADCAST BOOTH

January 21, 2019 by

    Count me among the sports fans who watched the NFL playoffs on Championship Sunday. Did I watch NFL games at a sports bar with my crew? First I’d need a crew. Did I watch it with my football player family members? No, but I do have football player relatives. One was a small […]

BoomerPdx Blog Update, November

November 19, 2018 by

  The numbers aren’t good, but they are surprising. Australia found boomerpdx and lead the world outside America in racking up hits here, which makes me happy. Twenty seven other countries made the hard trip here along with twenty eight American states. I’m glad to see the number of states and countries keeping pace with […]

All American Moment Of Serendipitous Patriotism

September 7, 2018 by

    One fine summer day in Philadelphia I found myself walking east on Market Street in the company of friends and family toward Independence Hall.   The Liberty Bell was still in residence.   I remember aunts and uncles and cousins and roommates all hiking toward the July 4th, 1976 Bicentennial speech given by […]

Colin Kaepernick Kneels For Nike Like I Kneel For Nike

September 4, 2018 by

    Do I kneel for Nike? I sure do, but it’s more in awe than anything else. Nike is awesome. So is Colin Kaepernick, but I don’t kneel to him.   For some reason the Kaepernick Kneel is an irritant instead of a call to action.   It is a call to action, right […]

Nature Inspires Art, Yellowstone Inspires Nature

August 11, 2018 by

    Driving Yellowstone is a trip back in time, and more than pre-historic time even though a dinosaur walking across the landscape wouldn’t be much of a surprise.   In this real life vision of Jurassic Park buffalo work just fine.   By back in time I mean a 45 mph speed limit and […]

Chain Of Command From The Bottom Up Point Of View

July 17, 2018 by

After you’ve lived in a chain of command culture the picture clears up. It’s not about being over-burdened, neglected, or picked on.   It is about preparing to be a better link in the chain. Not exactly another brick in the wall, a chain is more active.   Or it’s preparation to leave the chain […]

SHARED STANDARDS LIFT AMERICAN GREATNESS BAR

June 27, 2018 by

    In order to compete with Pew Research Center’s ‘fact tank’, nonpartisan, non-advocacy approach to public opinion, I ask strangers questions.   In a nonpartisan, non-advocacy approach I asked a fellow citizen in the sauna, an FCIS, if I could ask a few questions about shared standards. The old ‘question about asking questions’ technique. […]

LADY DAY PLAYS BOOMERPDX BAR AND GRILL

June 14, 2018 by

“Most men won’t go to live theater with their wives,” was an observation my wife shared. We were walking out of Portland Center Stage at the Armory on NW 11th by Powell’s Tuesday night when she said it. I was revved up after seeing LADY DAY AT EMERSON’S BAR AND GRILL. “Did I ever thank […]
